Having started Forest Bathing through Karen Olson's online class, I have begun stepping into the bird sanctuary nearly 30 minutes from my home at least once or twice a week. It's a place that tells me so much I needed to know about living. I'm shown how to slow down. to honor the season and to see how it is changing even as I live it. The joy of living is found in the immediacy of the moment, and there is an invitation to take each one moment fully embracing it before it changes often right before my eyes and/or my camera.
Sounds like a wonderful experience Karen. I understand completely! I danced Argentine tango for nearly 20 years. Again a dance of connection and mutual tuning in. There were no fixed moves, just a sense of movement from the other. When at its best it is imperceptible who leads a movement, it’s co- created dynamically at every moment and the music is expressed through the bodies into another. I’m so sad not to be able to dance at the moment!

I really liked reading this and also listening to it Karen.
